A few mixed emotions with Nintendo at the moment:

The Good:

A: Nintendo DS sells out in Europe, 500,000 consoles shipped!
B: PSP sales are down in Japan with new DS colours defeating them, PSP only selling half its shipment in America.
C: Resident Evil 4 charts at a respectible Number 5.

The Bad:

A: Worst march ever in America for Nintendo, hardware sales and software sales down. Due to stiff competiton.
B: Resident Evil 4 would have charted higher if Nintendo had decided to supply enough games. Selling out very quickly and then not renewing the demand! Dropped to number 19 in a week and then dropped out the charts, wouldn't have happened if Nintendo supplied the demand.
C: Exact same problem with the DS, Wario Ware Touched! STILL missing from most major retailers with Mario 64 DS just coming back into stock. DS is still selling out in places. Both a good AND bad thing.

So mixed emotions.

Oh and maybe, just maybe... I was right:

I feel sorry for anyone who needs an A level to prove they can use their own language.

I say we get rid of the government and let the Queen rule; do something other than have people wipe her backside for her and go to the Grand National. That way the Royal family will be good for something OTHER than tourism.

And give police guns. And bring back the death penalty.

They call it the release schedule. Fantastic device.

The end product of a Labour government, I imagine.

People learn 1337 in A2 English Language.

It's true, they have sheets on it and everything.

Useless fact of the day, indeed.

I think a single ! is enough to convey sarcasm well enough these days, thanks to this emotionless world we live in.

!!1!1 is just rubbish now. Even ironically, it's gone. pwn and 1337 soon, very soon, to follow - barely holding on as they are.
